Dereksd Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 So i stumbled upon MNH(minn hookah) new site hookahcousins and while going through the selection stumbled upon this [url="http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/tt75/Dereksd/tang.png"][img]http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/tt75/Dereksd/tang.png[/img][/url] I emailed them to see if it was true that they had it and if it was truly 30 bucks a 250. Waiting on reply I dont know how i feel about this. I mean i know its discontinued and all but seriously that much of a mark up on it? I could see paying extra but god damn!

TheyCallMeDave Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hell, with the way people talk about it on here, I wouldn't think anyone would be complaining. If the mini tang phunnels can sell for upwards of 60 dollars or more, then a rare discontinued (and huge favorite amoung members) of tang flavor for 30 doesn't suprise or irritate me.

Chreees Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 This has been a current discussion on another forum. I think it's ridiculous to mark up old stock of Blueberry. When I say old, I mean 2-3 years old... and that's according to Eric. IMO, if it were fresh, I wouldn't be complaining. Just like I didn't complain too much about Bug Powder being $30 at HC and HJ. I bitched a little about Bug Powder's price at the time (because I wanted it, haha), but old stock of Blueberry is even worse. One dude bought it and was gonna let us know how it smoked; he was currently acclimating it last he checked in. See, here's the thing- Eric said Blueberry was discontinued because the flavor lost potency so quickly. This would explain why the first 250g I had of it (in 2009 I believe) was awesome, whereas the second 250g I had (in 2010 I wanna say) had pretty much no flavor at all. Now if they were to drop the price down to retail, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I just don't feel it's worth paying twice as much for old tobacco, even if it is rare and in high demand.

Chreees Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Oh, and I also like how the price extra is now $16, when it was $12... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's there forever, as long as you take care of it. And you can resell it if you wish to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I am very tempted...that is my all time favorite flavor...very tempted, could be a graduation present to myself and smoke the 250 over the course of the week I'm celebrating/relaxing up my cabin my only problem is price on it...if it was fresh I would pay that in a heartbeat, but its old stock and as to what chris said that eric said...yaaaa, makes it not worth over $30 for me, maybe $20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I think this situation with the Tangiers Blueberry (and the fact that we had to ask them to remove the NHT glass pipes from their site) have made me want to never order from them...
